Kevin,

How I hate the toolbar – it should only be seen by admins

add the following code into your functions file

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Hi,

is there a short code to display the users profile?

After reading the documentation and working with bbpress the only way a user can see their profile is if they have already created a topic or replied to a topic.

Some users only want to favorite a few topics. However they can not see their favorites unless they can see their user profile.

Included is a screen shot of what is wanted.

Hi,

been working with bbpress, read through all the documentation and a lot of googling, and need to know how to hide the WordPress User bar when the user is logged in. bbpress is being used along with WooCommerce. The goal is to have a single login for members to have access to the forums.

Included is a screen shot.

Hi,

I have a forum on my domain.com

I also have a forum on sub.domain.com

I would like to copy all the topics and replies from domain.com to sub.domain.com, and afterwards 301 redirect all the topics from domain.com to the new link on sub.domain.com (i.e. domain.com/topic1 redirect to sub.domain.com/topic1).

Can anyone explain how to best do this?

Thanks!

Hey, how i can disable this option in bbpress forum settings; Disallow editing after x minutes, if i type 0 or leacve it blank, it still uses default setup (5 minutes)?

WordPress version 3.9.2–fi
bbPress Version 2.5.4
My site

[mostlyjan]

nah. never heard anything from anyone or support and could not get this to work. Test emails work but nothing else. Tried everything. We are dumping this bbpress and will look for something that works and/or has support. Very disappointing. Hope you get yours to work.

I’ve recently run a forum import from phpBB to bbPress and for the most-part it went very well. I am however having some problems with the Repair scripts – namely the:
“Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” tool.

Running this doesn’t seem to update the freshness on the Forums, they’re all displaying dates in 2013, when I know that most of them had activity on or around 27th Aug 2014 (which is when we turned off the phpBB forum).

Does anyone know the cause of this – or have any ideas how we can brute-force the update of the dates?

[K-Path]

First I used method 2 and the page only rendered part of the Welcome text. The shortcode didn’t work.
[bbp-forum-index]

I then switched to Twenty Ten theme and the short code to produce the page Forums worked perfectly.

So this incredibly beautiful theme I’ve been grooming into the hub for my organizations activities doesn’t work with bbPress.:-(

[Robin W]

Can I export the entire site from inside the backend as a superadmin? Or do I need phpMyAdmin to do it?

I’d use phpmyadmin, rather than wp import/export, as the you know you’ve got everything

This is my first time with a forum, and I have been warned that nothing has been updated in a REALLY long time.

what version of bbpress is it running?

My biggest concern is the privacy – I am assuming that the forum settings are set to private?

once you got it in, you cam make it private quite easily if it isn’t already. Private forums are hidden from you unless you are logged in.

I go to the track:
Wp-content / languages
Create a folder named:
bbpress
Then enter the folder to the path becomes:
Wp-content / languages ​​/ bbpress
.
Translations and upload files
Athar said the concept was not my Arabic interpretation and use translate.google

[vipnt]

Je vais à la piste:
wp-content/languages
Créer un dossier nommé:
bbpress
Puis entrez dans ce dossier pour le chemin devient:
wp-content/languages/bbpress
.
Fichiers de sous-titres et Ascenseur
Athar a déclaré que le concept n’était pas l’explication parce que mon arabe et utiliser translate.google

Hi,

I’m looking to import a phpBB v3.1.10 forum to bbPress and just wanted confirmation on what exactly can be imported using the built in import forums tool in bbPress.

From what i can tell all forums and posts are imported along with users, so that users can log on to bbPress using their original phpBB logon details.

What about images in posts?

Am I correct that only images that are inline ones are imported with the posts? Images added as attachments to posts are NOT imported?

The phpBB forum that I wish to migrate to bbPress can be found here:

http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b

Thanks for your help!

Steve.

Wordpress version : 3.9.2
bbPress version:2.5.4

[Kermit51]

Hello,

Wordpress version : 3.9.1
bbPress version:2.5.4

When i translate the plugin in french, the forum translation works but install the translation broke the admin part.

I can’t publsh any article or access to the parameter, i have a “server problem” when i try to access these part of the admin.

To translate the forum i sent the .mo in : /wp-content/languages/plugins.

Thank’s for your help.

NB: Sorry for my english, if some point are not clear dont hesitate to ask me more information/explanation.

[K-Path]

I used Method 1
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything

b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.

Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.

Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)

Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.

Job done!

I don’t know what information you need to help me. All I know is that when I publish a forum I can see it for example . . .
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/

But when I follow the breadcrumbs to home of the forum I get a totally useless page from which I can’t get to any forums. If you look you can see that there is some text that suggests there are other forums but no live links to them. Can you think of what is wrong?

Thank you for trying to help Robin.

ok, lets work this through

You say you’re a superadmin – does this mean its a multi-site installation? they’re not my forte, but if this is just a single site then….

First of all bbpress is a plugin, so you’ll still need wordpress (and it holds the users), and since the existing theme has all the styling that you users are used to, then it would be sensible to use that as well.

So in effect what you need to do is just import a full copy of the installation, and then take out the pages and posts, and you have a forum without the rest of the site !

Since you have a test site, then follow the guidance in

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

and then just go into posts and pages to delete those (apart from the forum page), and amend the custom menu if you have one.

[Robin W]

Not sure why you would be getting this, it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. If it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

Without further info from you, have you tried

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

ok, the template for the forum index isn’t used. Bbpress looks for your theme template fiels and uses them instead.

I have marletpress and bbpress running quite happily together.

I suggest you contact you host provider for help

Hi everyone,

i have WP multisite v3.92, and bbpress 2.5.4. I am trying to put Marketpress Lite on there too, and they run fine on their own but i get this error message when i try to activate them both together:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/name/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/metaboxes.php on line 168

I changed the theme to Twenty Twelve, then i got this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 80 bytes) in /home/sisadmi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php on line 276

Here is a link to the site: http://www.sistahs.club/

i’d be grateful for any suggestions, thanks

[Killerrabbit2]

Update: did more testing – If the user also clicks to subscribe to the post and then enters a comment into the string he does not receive any more updates.

In addition I installed a brand new version of WP running Twenty Fourteen and just the bbPress plugin. Is this a known bug?

[btreinhart]

The forum index page that has “[bbp-forum-index]” is using the test.php template, and it displays properly but when you click on a forum, and it takes you to domain.com/forum/your-forum-name the template isn’t working like it should. I took on this project from a developer who is no longer with us, and I assume he didn’t know how to fix it so he left it the way it was before he left. I downloaded the latest version, and I see the files class.wp.scripts, general-template, page, test outside of the bbpress folder, but I tried to place them in specific areas and still didn’t have any luck. Can anyone give me direction? Thank you.

WordPress 3.9.2 running Montezuma theme.
bbPress 2.5.4
There is no “Forums” landing page and the breadcrumbs don’t work for either forums or topics. You can see the individual forums from inside the admin and clicking view and then post a topic but you can’t see the forum from the public face of the blog. Follow the link and you’ll see what I mean.

Very frustrating. Is there something that I forget to do?
